It is not a question to save 5 minutes of electricity only this day, but to draw the attention of the citizens, media and decision makers to the wasting of energy and the urgency to pass to the action! 5 minutes of respite for planet: that does not take a long time, that does not cost anything, and that will show to the candidates with Presidential that the climatic change is a subject which must weigh in the political debate. Why on February 1? Because the following day will leave, in Paris, the new report/ratio of the intergovernmental group of experts on the evolution of Climate (GIEC) of the United Nations. This event will take place in France: one should not let pass this occasion to direct the projectors on the urgency of the world climatic situation.
